Gparted is a fine partition tool for general work but don't use it for this sort of job.
Use cfdisk instead.
# cfdisk /dev/sdd

I just put debian-live-9.0.1-amd64-xfce.iso to 128 GB USB-stick and then tried to check the created partitions on a computer running Debian Strech. When I check partitions with "cat /proc/partitions" I get: 8 48 123240448 sdd 8 49 1896832 sdd1 8 50 416 sdd2 So there is one main partition and one tiny one. But if I start GParted to modify partitions, it doesn't see main partition at all, only the tiny one. GParted claims that USB-stick has: - 1.04 MiB unallocated space - 416 KiB fat16 partition - 117.53 GiB unallocated space Why GParted doesn't see the main partition? I want to create another partition for persistence, but I'm afraid GParted will destroy main partition (which it doesn't see) if I try to do any changes.
